The staff is rude, following example set by owner. They don't have any other form of payment except for cash and charges $2 to use their ATM machine. The prices on the square app are different from what they charge in the store $10 more than standard. Sarah does not understand English but knows enough to make insulting remarks and comments about age and parental status. I asked for dip powder nails and she filed so much that I can't open a soda can and fingertips are raw. read more

Had a gel manicure and pedicure. I've visited several salons and the service here was mediocre and perfunctory in spite of the $80 charge. The premises also could be improved. Would never return to this establishment. read more

I just don't understand what is wrong with a soak off and why when i request it, it's a problem. When did a cutdown become $10.00 at the very least advertised it and she didn't apply lotion to my hands after she polished them. I wish sandy, nicki and Kim came back smh ** just let me leave with ashy hands ** read more

First time coming to Sandy's and I loved the service. Angel did a wonderful job and the prices are affordable. read more

This is an amazing nail salon, it is a family oriented place they are always so welcoming and loving. I have been going to them since I left my job at a nail salon, they are the only people I trust to give me a proper refill, and wax, they use top of the line products. So I think their prices are extremely reasonable if you put into account the products they are using! They have awesome hours they are open later than other salons this is a great choice for people who work late hours, I have seen them stay long pass closing hours to accommodate customer, which is extremely considerate due to the fact that have to sit all day long. They are always ahead of the game with the latest nail trends. If you want the best looking nails with amazing shape this is the place to go! I have been to other places where it takes them hours just to get your shape correct! They have a variety of nail colors, as long as I have been going I still haven't had a chance to try every amazing color they have! The nail technicians at Sandys are very popular and they have regulars! So it is best to make an appointment because they do book up fast ! I have no problem with the wait time because I always book or call in advance to secure my spot ! I had an amazing experience when the daughter was going away for her honeymoon she was kind enough to squeeze me in on her booked up schedule before she left and my nails honestly lasted the entire month she was gone! The pedicure are amazing they give the best massages, I honestly go sometimes just to get my feet rubbed! They have also did a remodeling which has made the place a lot more welcoming and comfortable to be in ! I love them and I would never go anywhere else ! read more

This place is disgusting. We only gave it a shot because it was within walking distance. It would honestly fail an inspection. From the moment we walked in, the smell of fried fish and acetone almost knocks you out! I'm surprised we didn't walk out right then and there. We figured - what the heck. It's $10 for a manicure and we needed to get our nails done quick before dinner. They took us upstairs to a more private area where there were less people. I almost wish they didn't. It was even filthier upstairs. How is his establishment still open? I will not be coming back. And how are there any good reviews on here at all? read more

Since I live in the area this is my neighborhood nailery and they do a good job with pedicures and manicures. The staff is super friendly especially the younger girls; who make you feel welcome and comfortable. It is a family run business and you can tell they take pride in their work and the atmosphere. I have gotten my eyebrows waxed once which ended up being alright but I stick to my regular salon in upper darby for that. You can't beat this place for an inexpensive pedicure.

Sandy's Nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I had an acrylic infill and the price was $10 more than what they've had said for infills (because they said if you need to file the nails its more expensive, which should be apart of the price) if I wanted just a one colour coat that would've been another $10. And the service isn't the highest quality. My hands were kept in the filed off nail parts, which was a bit alarming. read more

This is place is like family. There always welcoming when you walk inside. I never have a problem being serviced as long as I make an appointment and they are always accommodating. I am not telling you which tech I go to because I don't want y'all to steal her but all of the techs here are specialists in their own right. They always have the latest products and trends and a plethora of colors! read more

Yikes. Don't even know how I ended up here TWICE. The first time, I had moved in the area and needed a last-minute brow wax. The lady who took care of me was nice and all, and after all I liked the shape and the wax job lasted. However, the overall hygiene there is not so good. The wax station seemed a mess, with used strips full of hairs all over the scene. Considering that waxing can cause surface infection if not done properly, I didn't like what I saw at all. The second time, almost 2 years later, it was also a last-minute thing. (I don't know what it is about me and last-minutes.) I was at Valley Green park and later stopped by that nail salon. I couldn't remember whether I liked it the first time or not because it had been so long, but as soon as I entered through that door I remembered. Things haven't changed and this time I was left really grossed out. While I was waiting, I wandered around and noticed how dirty the place is. I could see a couple of small baby roaches scrawling on the glass of the counter by the plants. I didn't like the fact that, like last time, the employees act so unprofessionally around customers. One of them was hanging around barefoot on the dirty floor and, hear this: they screamed and shouted and cursed in front of the customers. A business like this should be clean and peaceful, and professional. Really funny that they are "now offering massages" in such a chaotic place. But that's not everything. The girl doing my eyebrows the second time didn't even clean the to-wax skin with alcohol first and she applied hot wax on one of my eyebrows twice! You never wax the same area twice, especially a delicate area. OMG. I could feel the rash burn like a mother&%$#@*. To top it off, she had just finished a pedicure and excused herself for a minute to basically rub something on the customer's toes. She comes back to me and didn't even wash her hands before touching my face again. I guess I was in total shock and that's why I didn't say anything. But I'm posting this because everyone (who cares about hygiene) should be aware. There won't be a third or ever time. read more

We recently relocated to this area and I was excited to have a little nail shop close by, but sadly this is one we won't be frequenting. I brought my little girl with me just to get a polish change, and was totally put off by how unfriendly the ladies were. They didn't even look up or acknowledge us when we walked in, didn't ask what we needed, and when I asked them if they could get my little girl in, they were reluctant to even tell me how long the wait would be. They told us 30 minutes, so we left and ran errands, then came back 30 later and they still weren't done. Said it would be another 10 minutes and so we left and went to another place nearby that my fellow yelpers suggested that was great. Overall, nothing special of a place, and the staff seem very unprofessional. Bummer because we would be here a lot if it were better. read more

It hasn't been a week and I've had to remove my nail polish on my fingernails. Working in a professional field I can't have chipped nail polish. Two days after I noticed bumps on my shins, thinking they were bug bites I looked closer...nope. I then thought they were ingrown hairs...nope. I don't know what was in the pedicure water/scrub but it caused pimple-like irritations and huge red marks on my legs. I'd rather save the money for a good dinner with friends and do my own mani/pedi. read more

New owners and they are great. Have made changes in the appearance to make it feel like a spa experience. Staff friendly and I was in and out. Love this place! read more

Sandy's Nail - Love this! Helen is the best! New owners new experience - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been going to Sandy's for almost 10 years now. If you're reading this please ignore the previous reviews. At Sandy's you're family. There is such exquisite nail design and variance of colors like this salon. They take their time and never treat you like a number. Regarding the previous posts about the wait time, it is often busy which is always great for business. However you do have the availability to schedule appointments which are always on time and flexible to your schedule. Give Sandy's a try and join the family read more

I went there for an eyebrow wax as a last minute resort even after reading the reviews. The ladies there are super nice and you're in and out very quickly but I'm not sure I'd go back there for waxing. I do have sensitive skin so normally when I get waxed my skin turns red for a little while so I'm always prepared for this. I asked if she could cool the wax a bit before touching my skin with it and she did. When I left my eyebrows looked amazing! Great shape, a little red but better than usual. It wasn't until I got home that I saw tiny red bumps ALL over my brows. Horrified, I called my friend who had gone there and she said the same thing happened to her and lasted for hours. The rash went away in about an hour and my brows continued to look amazing for two weeks so I'm convinced they either use old wax or need to get a different brand. Not entirely sure if I'd go back unless I was again in a last minute bind. read more

Awful and unsanitary salon. DO NOT GO THERE unless you want to get a nail fungus or worse. Does not deserve any stars at all. Avoid this salon folks. read more

I only get pedicures, so this review is just based on that. Super-friendly staff. I went on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend--they were packed, but I didn't have to wait at all--though she told me that earlier in the day, the wait had been 2 hours. Nice, basic technique (I didn't opt for it, though they have hot stone), great massage. And $20 for a pedicure? This might be my new go-to nail salon. read more

Decent nail salon. You have to ask for Molly if you are getting a french manicure or anything ornate. She's the best. Based on what I've seen of their other services on other customers -- brow waxing and eyelash extensions -- I personally stick only to nails at this salon. read more

I was looking for a new place to get my acrylic re-fill and Sandy herself was recommended to me by two co-workers with beautiful nails. Her work is very meticulous and since I am very picky about my nails, I really appreciated that. She also did a very beautiful and fun design on my two ring fingers, which I haven't done for years! The artwork is phenomenal. The other staff members were very friendly and I felt comfortable there instantly. I highly recommend Sandy's Nail. I just wish it were a little closer to home! I'll definitely be going back. read more

Horrible customer service. The owner talked about me in a different language right in front of my face. The lady left me at the table and didn't help me to the dryer when she was done. She just left. read more

I'll start with the good... the Nail Tech who did my manicure was really nice and gave me exactly what I needed for my Halloween night look - I believe she was either the owner or manager. The prices are cheap - my manicure was $10 and I was able to pay with a credit card (a huge pet peeve of mine is when nail salons have credit card minimums that are above the cost of their basic manicure - does not compute!). I did have to wait but not for an especially long time and after I was seated at a nail station, my mani was finished really fast. On the flip-side.... this place is so dirty and so cluttered that it is actually pretty shocking. It is by far the dirtiest nail salon I've ever been in and I am not picky! The bathroom is especially bad - it's basically a toilet separated from the salon floor by a piece of plywood. I am not at all shocked that other yelp reviews include pest sightings because when I walked in, sat down to wait, and started looking around, the first thing I thought was "there have to be roaches in here" (to be clear though: I did not personally see any bugs or other vermin on the premises). The space is so cluttered and disorganized that it creates a decidedly *un*-relaxing salon experience. And while I was happy with the way my manicure *looked*, the flipside of the fast service was that the actual work done to my nails was way below par - my nail tech never even brought out a nail buff. Basically, I paid to have my nails filed and painted - the service I received was not a full manicure. In summary... they got the job done and my individual experience was fine but I will not be risking a return trip and I would not recommend this salon to a friend. read more

Horrible place! Very unprofessional and does too much talking about nothing. The first time I went there, I got my eyebrows done and the wax was too hot and burned my face. It left a mark for months! Second time I went, I waited an hour then when I finally got seen, the girl cut my toe nail too low. When I told her she gave me attitude and said "Well do you want someone else to do your nails?" How unprofessional is that? If I come to a place to spend money, I need to get treated with respect. I will NEVER go back! read more

I'll give them one star for the hours of operation, and another for accepting credit cards. This place is taacky. I walked in to get my nails done after walking up the fair amount of steps I dropped my cellphone the male technician burst out laughing as if that was the funniest thing he'd seen all week.... Very hilarious they tell me i have to go upstairs to get my nails done even tho the owner isn't doing anything but talking, cool. Upstairs the one technician mouth was wildd talking about how bad her clients were with tipping smh not sure if that was a hint for a good tip, no thank u ma'am... After approx 4,5 days my overlay shimmyed right on down and looked as if I needed a refill BAD it was never that close to begin with. I'll come back if I'm desperate for a late night pedi or something. But going out of my way to get here absolutely not read more

Dirty! I was going to get a gel manicure & pedicure... But after all the countless violations I saw, I'm amazed I even let myself sit through a pedicure. I'm a licensed stylist, so I realize I'm picky, but that also means I know what would be considered not just "icky" but a definite code violation. On top of those issues, the place was cramped and noisy (with most of the noise coming from the staff yelling at one another). My pedicure was awful. The woman doing it didn't listen to me at all and scrubbed my feet too much, and then barely rubbed a little bit of oil in them. No lotion and no massage. They are rougher and more dried out than before the pedicure. I asked for a few lines as a design and ended up with blobs of color I didn't ask for that looked like a 5 year old did them. I left immediately after that, telling them I didn't have time for a manicure. I wish I had spoken up more and not paid for the service or stopped them when I realized how dirty the place was. Spend a few dollars more and go to Manayunk. read more

My experience here was absolutely the worst! I came in for a refill, sat there for at least an hour and a half as I watched them take customers they knew over me! I wanted to leave but that was the only nailery in my area that was open and I needed my nails done badly. Once I got seated with Sandy, the owner, she goes off for another 15 minutes to eat! I couldn't believe it. The nail job was mediocre. They're ghetto and unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone to go there. Worst nail salon experience ever! Take your business elsewhere. read more

If you like wasting your time, this is the place for you! I wasted an hour and a half there. I'm new to the area and was looking for a new nail salon and this one is a block away. I decided to give it a try tonight. I got there at 6pm. First of all, there is no such thing as a Reception booth. There is just someone asking you what you need at the other side of the shop. I just wanted a manicure, nothing special just polish no gel or any of that. She said 20 minutes and I knew that it was going to be longer since there was some people waiting already. 45 MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL 20, I had still not been serviced, and no one was even acknowledging that I was still waiting or keeping me updated. I gave it another 15 minutes and still had not been serviced. Nothing said to me, not even a "pick your color, we'll be with your in a minute" NOTHING. They were just doing their friends and cousins nails, chatting, eating, texting. I do my nails every other week + some waxing so they just lost a potentially regular client. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME THERE. PS: I created a Yelp account just to post this review. That tells you how pissed I am. read more

Absolutely awful. Rude staff who play favorites. I got a polish change that looks like it was done by a child.

I have been getting my nails done for YEARS and have never experienced what I did this week. I went to Sandy's Nails in East Falls on Weds and got a usual refill and design. I have been here numerous times and never had a problem. The technician this time was fine and even sweet. Three days later two nails broke, which is very odd for me unless I am doing something that causes a break. I figured I could go in to get them fixed.... right? Today I went back and told the same tech that I was unsure how my nails had broken and she became visibly PISSED telling me that this made no sense. Then she slapped on two new tips that she didn't file to match my other hand (neither in thickness nor in length) and proceeded to snap at me when I stuck my hand in to dry my gel because the light didn't go on (Clearly I should have known this and informed her since it's not her job to know if she turns her own equipment on or anything.) Though she neglected to include the design I have on 8 other fingers, she was done so I asked what I owed. She charged me $10 and shot me an awful look that awed my friend. I laughed it off when I walked out just figuring I won't return there.... then I got home and another nail broke.... I have had good experiences here before and met the owner who is LOVELY. Some of the girls are really great. I sadly am too turned off to return. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I think the nail polish is still from the 90's and the upkeep is terrible. My friend and I went on a whim after work and it was chaotic -- except it seemed like one big family reunion instead of clientele. We were told to pick from (a very small selection) of colors and sit in the pedicure chairs. The tools used looked dirty and made me nervous - yet - I sat through it anyways. After taking a good look around, I noticed how much dirtier the place actually was and run down it seemed. I didn't see cockroaches as other reviewers did but I can guarantee this is their breeding down. I tried not to look for them because I was sure I would find them. I would never recommend read more

Never again...this place was filthy. They had rat droppings in plain sight and behind furnitue. I noticed a roach crawling around the equipment while getting a pedicure. The lady never said anything. All of a sudden there's another one on the floor that she stepped on and kept it moving. I didn't even wait to dry my feet...I quickly gathered my things and left. Shook my clothes off before getting in the car. read more

The place looks amazing....my nail tech transferred there so the quality of my service was amazing! the girls are funny and down to earth and I love that its mostly family. read more

Awful! Does not deserve 1 star. I live nearby and won't go there. The place is dirty and they take customers that they know over people that have been waiting. I went in and waited for an hour and walked out when they kept taking other people. It's so gross in there anyway, so glad I didn't get my nails done read more

This is a good place to get your nails done or waxing. All the women that work here are very nice, but I have had some of them that do a better job than others (mani, pedi, gel, eyebrows). They are almost always busy which I think is a good sign. read more

Unsanitary. It's filthy in there. Also, I didn't see them sterilize any tools used on me. Messy work. Had nail polish everywhere on my skin and nails we jagged when i left. Will never go back. read more

This is the best place to get your nails done! The employees are honest and friendly and will always make sure the customer leaves happy. Very sweet family and Sandy is an honest and caring woman. Her niece and daughters are so friendly. Their work is AMAZINGGGG. Where else can you get a mani/pedi for $27?!? They do EVERYTHING. Massages, facials, waxing, threading, etc. etc. Definitely recommend. I have been a client for 4 years and I go every week! read more

Came here with a girlfriend late around 7pm on a monday, parking was very easy to find. i wanted rhinestones and intricate designs on my nails and i am very happy with my results.

Sandy's Nail - love my nails!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I wish I could put zero stars. The lady who did my eyebrow waxing started out by telling me i had a unibrow. Extremely rude. Then during the waxing she dripped scalding hot wax across my face and in my hair. She did absolutely nothing to try to clean it up. She still charged me after all of this happened, unfortunately. I have filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau. read more

if I could do 0 Stars I would have! do not go to this place the prices that they have on their wall are not the prices that they charge but that's just the tip of the iceberg. to start I don't think the lady who does the eyebrow threading even knows what eyebrow threading. is she ended up plucking my entire eyebrows with tweezers after getting mad at me because the two times she told me to check they still weren't done, not even a little bit. I got my upper lip done and again she got an attitude when I told her that it was missing spots. I left unhappy my eyebrows and my lips still aren't as they should have been and now I have to go pay to get them done correctly. read more

One star is too much for this place. While the staff are relatively "nice", they have no interest in doing a good job and satisfying the customer. They operate like a factory. The owner and one or two other people have real knowledge of doing nails. The others are poorly trained and have little skills. The pedicure basically consist of a foot rinsing and barely touching my feet.There is no attention to service. The products are dried up and scarce. The services are overprices for the poor quality of service and the fake attitudes. I would have to be desperate to go back. I'm most surprised that customers return there. L&I needs to get to this place soon. do yourself a favor, avoid this place if you value service. read more
